This recipe was really good but I did made some changes according to the reviews listed. I doubled the flour and cooked it with a stick of butter (I am sure you can use less if you want, but this was just perfect for me) before adding it to the potatoes. I also used the juice from the can of clams (it was in clam juice not water or oil like some cans come in) instead of buying a the jar of clam juice, and I added thyme and oregano along with the parsley. My boyfriend is a very picky eater, but he cleaned the pot with this recipe!

Living in the North East I've tasted some very good NE Clam Chowder. This is as good as any. Simple to make too. I did, however, add 3 stalks/ribs of chopped celery with the potato and onion mixture and an extra can of clams. Another thing to remember is that it is always better the second or third day.

This is the first time I've reviewed a recipe from this site although I have a recipe box full of good dishes. I have to say though, this was so good and easy to make! Most recipes have bacon and my husband doesn't eat bacon, he loved this chowder and it will be a much repeated meal!

This recipe is simple and easy to make. My wife and daughter are lactose intolerant so i used lactaid milk instead of half and half and very little cream. also we bought clams in clam juice so we used the juice from that instead of buying more.

Fantastic! Added a bit more flour for thickening and added some chopped celery. I made 16 serving and froze for lunches.

This chowder had a delicious flavor and we totally loved it. But when I make again, I will add more clams and clam juice, it didn't really have much of the clam flavor that you would expect in a clam chowder. Also, I thought there were too many potatoes, next time I will probably only use 2 potatoes. It was more like a good potato soup with a few clams thrown in. Since other reviewers said it was too thin, I used 2 Tbsp. flour, but still needed to add some instant potato flakes to thicken it up. Having said all that, it really was a delicious soup, just not clammy enough for my taste, but that may just be personal preference. I will defiitely make again though, will just add more clams next time. Thanks for a great recipe!

1st time chowder brewer. My husband & I drove up and down the coast of MA & RI (we're Native Southern Californians). Had some great chowder, but this recipe topped them all. Used large Costco cans of clams, drained reserving the juice, rinsed to get all the sand out of it. Also thickened much more with flour and cornstarch. Next time will add celery & mash half of the potatoes as suggested by another reviewer.
